Fig. 4. Distribution of small RNA reads through SLACS, TATE, TAS-like and CIR74 elements.
The images show the schematic representation of each element with non-redundant small RNA reads aligned. Sense/plus or antisense/minus reads are colored in blue and red, respectively.
A. Schematic representation of a SLACS element (LbrM16.0470) from chromosome 16 (Chr16) inserted into a spliced leader (SL) RNA gene repeat (green boxes). The reverse transcriptase-like (RT-like) domain and the poly(A) tail are represented by the yellow and light gray boxes, respectively.
B. Schematic representation of a TATE element (LbrM24.2430) from chromosome 24 (Chr24) associated with a TAS-like element. Green boxes, telomeric repeats (GGGTTAn); yellow box, phage integrase (PI) domain.
C. Schematic representation of a CIR74 repeat unit from chromosome 2 (Chr2).
